Itinerary
Expand allPick-up from Alexandria Port
Begin your day with a warm welcome at Alexandria Port by your private Egyptologist guide. Relax in your air-conditioned vehicle as you drive through Alexandria’s elegant boulevards, lined with palm trees and Mediterranean architecture. Along the way, your guide introduces you to the city’s fascinating history — a blend of Greek, Roman, and Egyptian influences that shaped one of the world’s most legendary cities.
Qaitbay Citadel
Travel along the scenic Corniche to reach the Qaitbay Citadel, proudly standing on the site of the ancient Lighthouse of Alexandria — one of the original Seven Wonders of the World. Feel the sea breeze and admire breathtaking views of the Mediterranean as your guide shares stories of battles, explorers, and the city’s maritime legacy.
Pompey’s Pillar and Serapeum of Alexandria
Stand before the towering Pompey’s Pillar — a granite column rising nearly 30 meters high — the last remnant of the ancient Serapeum temple. Surrounded by sphinx statues and Roman ruins, this site offers a glimpse into Alexandria’s once-great temples and the city’s devotion to knowledge and divinity.
Library of Alexandria
Visit the modern Library of Alexandria, a stunning architectural masterpiece that pays homage to the ancient Great Library of Alexandria. Explore its vast reading halls, art galleries, and cultural exhibits that celebrate global knowledge and Egyptian heritage.
Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa
Descend into the mysterious Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, one of the Seven Wonders of the Middle Ages. This ancient burial site reveals a rare fusion of Egyptian, Greek, and Roman artistry carved deep beneath the earth. Walk through its spiral staircase, explore the stone sarcophagi, and admire the intricate carvings that tell stories of both mythology and mortality.
The Roman Amphitheatre
Continue to the only Roman Amphitheatre discovered in Egypt. Imagine the echoes of ancient performances as you stroll among the marble seats, mosaic floors, and well-preserved columns that once hosted gatherings of art, music, and debate in Roman Alexandria.
